canoe, anyone?

In case you live in a vacuum and haven’t noticed, Georgia is having a wee bit of trouble with TOO MUCH RAIN! First, there’s a drought and we’re fighting with Tennessee and Alabama and condemning lots of little fish in North Florida to their untimely deaths. Now, we have tragedy of the human kind, including a goofball who thought it’d be a good idea to go swimming in a river losing its banks (that’s what the Darwin Awards are for).

I need to fly outta here in the morning to get to Charlotte, NC before 10:30 AM. I’m still going to have a drive to my destination. Things are not looking good around here.

This is the road I would have taken out of the neighborhood. That lake is the river run-off. It hasn’t even crested yet. I’m thinking I’m going to miss North Carolina in the early fall.

Avast ye!

Well, it’s another talk like a pirate day. Here’s my favorite pirate, Captain Hook:

“Avast belay, yo ho, heave to,
A-pirating we go
And if we’re parted by a shot
We’re sure to meet below!”
“Yo ho, yo ho, the pirate life,
The flag o’skull and bones
A merry hour, a hempen rope
And ‘hey’ for Davy Jones!”CaptainHookcartoon
